The New Snapchat Update Just Made Finding Your Friends Stupidly Easy

You might have Kylie Jenner, Ariana Grande and the like on your favourites list (probably thanks in part to this handy guide of celeb usernames), but it's now going to be just as easy to find and add your friends on Snapchat following their latest update.

If you've used Snapchat then you'll know that unless you know a friend's username, it's pretty hard to find and add them - often meaning that you accidentally end up adding randoms when chancing it and guessing their handles.

But having five breakfast snaps from people you don't even know clogging up your stories is now a thing of the past as Snapchat have introduced a clever way of sharing your handle with your mates.

The new feature is a simple but effective one and gives each Snapchat user a personal URL that links directly to their handle.

Now all you need to do is go to the 'Add Friends' tab and select 'Share Username'. You'll get a URL you can share with anyone and when they click it, it will automatically redirect them to you on Snapchat. Simples.

It's a pretty good one for topping up your friends list because your not going to become the new DJ Khaled without growing that audience now, are you?

Oh and if you didn't know, you can actually find us in your Snapchat Discover tab, so head on over there for your daily dose of news and lols without even having to leave Snapchat.
